64. At-Taghabun (Mutual Loss And Gain)

Period Uncertain [108][18 verses]

The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:

مَا أَصَابَ مِن مُّصِيبَةٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ يَهْدِ قَلْبَهُ ...

64: 11.  No kind of calamity can occur, except by the leave of Allah:

and if anyone believes in Allah, (Allah) guides his heart (aright):

C5492. What we consider calamities may be blessings in disguise. Pain in the body is often a signal of something wrong, which we can cure by remedial measures. So in the moral and spiritual world, we should in all circumstances hold firmly to the faith that nothing happens without Allah's knowledge and leave; and therefore there must be some justice and wisdom according to His great universal Plan. Our duty is to find out our own shortcomings and remedy them. If we try to do so in all sincerity of heart, Allah will give us guidance.

... وَاللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ ﴿١١﴾

for Allah knows all things.

Asad’s Version:

64:11 NO CALAMITY can ever befall [man] unless it be by God's leave: hence, whoever believes in God guides his [own] heart [towards this truth];' and God has full knowledge of everything.
